Hi there, Almost two years ago after 3 back to back pregnancies i had my 275cc saline implants replaced with 375cc HP silicone. At the time I was afraid of the anchor scar so I did a donut lift instead. I'm now considering going back for the lift but I'm concerned my breasts will end up looking smaller. Im a 34DD in VS brand bras...Will I need a larger implant with the lift to keep my large size? Thank you:)
Answer: Breast lift?
It's really impossible to tell without seeing a photo. Breast lift surgery doesn't really reduce the size of your breasts so you shouldn't really get much smaller.

Answer: Will a Breast Lift reduce breast size No significant change in size should occur with a breast Lift procedure alone. A Mastopexy, or Breast Lift is a breast shaping procedure. The tissue removed typically is a small amount of extra skin that has stretched out from the tissue sag. Best wishes,Sergio Maggi, MD, FACSDirector- Austin Plastic Surgery Center

Answer: Will a Breast Lift Make my Breasts Look Smaller, or Larger? A breast lift, or mastopexy, alone does not substantially change the size of your breasts, but will tighten the skin, lift them and make them appear more youthful and sometimes smaller. By tightening the skin, we usually try to distribute volume of the breast in an upward direction, and thus, obtaine fullness and round shape in the upper and lower parts of the breast. This can produce the impression of half a size bigger cup.In most cases breast lift can not be done without a breast reduction, these two prosedures are known as going hand-in-hand. A lift requires moving breast tissue, removing skin as well, and removing extra tissue to reduce the volume of the breast; so it's very close to a reduction procedure. That's why sometimes the breast may appear a little bit smaller in result of a lift, inspite of getting a natural rounded shape and more youthful look.It is important to understand, that the result of a breast lift depends very much on the degree of breast sagging, the amount of the excess skin and other factors, so in some cases breasts might have got the impression of bigger size and in some cases they may become smaller. Unfortunately, it’s not always easy to tell if the breasts will look significantly smaller before the surgery has actually taken place. As all the women have different expectations regarding the result, some may feel dissatisfied with the overall size of their breasts. Some women find it possible to combine a breast lift and implants , but others don't.There are advantages and disadvantages of any choice, and it is important to understand all your options before you make a final decision.I hope this will help you.

Answer: Breast Size as a Result of a Breast Lift A #mastopexy or breast lift operation is designed to improve the shape and position of the breast swithout reducing their size. It is used for #breasts which sag or droop (ptosis). Some patients will have a better shape to their breast such as increased superior fullness if an #implant is used at the time of mastopexy. This is called an #Augmentation/Mastopexy.The procedure can also be combined with a minor breast reduction to reduce the breast width if desired. The surgery will create an elevated, more youthful breast contour. Also, the procedure will create nipple and areolae of the desired size and at the correct height.#FatGrafting is another option to using #breastimplants and requires a small amount of liposuction to obtain the fat which is the prepared and transferred to the breast.A hybrid operation may use both an implant and fat to provide the best contours of the lifted breast.

Answer: Will a Breast Lift Make my Breasts Look Smaller, or Larger? It is not unusual for the cup size to reduce by one with a breast lift. Often, a change of the breast implant profile with one that has more powerful projection can improve the appearance and maintain the cup size without going to a greater volume.

Answer: Breast lift and smaller breast You will lose very minimal volume with a mastopexy. Your implant should be big enough and I don't think you will notice any difference in size post op.
